As the title says, what do you want to see in future editions of TAR? I may as well start.

Locations: COPENHAGEN. Also Indonesia, Ghana, Bolivia, Bulgaria, Belize, and return trips to Thailand and Singapore.Twists: No more, thanks. More Fast Forwards. More legs. The absolute death of the Intersection.Teams: Less in the way of boring dating couples. More unique relationships, particularly with family and co-ed (nondating) teams.Etc.: Less money per leg - if teams can routinely follow taxis, then it's time to tighten the purse strings. Less bunching - TAR12 did a good job with this, but it's sort of a reflexive request ever since TAR6.

(edited to emphasize some of the things that could be posted in here, but hey, I predicted all of these aside from Bulgaria, Belize, and less bunching)

Per the lovely Peach, route maps should not be posted in-thread; a link to the image file should be fine, as well as this site.

Well I'd like them to visit** Indonesia (I've been there a number of times and it really is no more dangerous than many other places they've visited)* Antarctica - so the race can finally say it has visited EVERY continent* Eastern Russia (siberia) - the whole north of asia has never been visited and some of the views are breathtaking* Greenland (if they don't go to antarctica, it wouldn't be a good idea to visit them in the same season)

Usually the race head south or west from america, except for season 10 which headed east to china. I would like to see the first leg head north to Canada and then head east to siberia in the next.

As for the taxi following issue, they should ban it. Its fine to ask for directions, or even get a local 'guide' but all the taxi following does make for a boring show.

Wow im surprised there r lots of ppl here wanna TAR to go to Indonesia, as local i also want that!Thx for your opinion about Indonesia But i also would like to see countries like Uzbekistan, Venezuela, and more Russia (especially Siberia), also Denmark, Slovenia (Europe best kept secret), and Jordan.

my family roots originate back to Slovenia! Of course, when p eople can't pronounce Bostancic, it makes me wish we came from somewhere with easier last names.

Locations - How about places that none of the TAR editions (ours, Asia, etc.) have not visited. There are thousands of beautiful places around the world that could be visited. Thousands of socio-economic sob stories that could be explored. I am very tired of India. Phuket, again? TARA seems to allows be there and now TAR. Australia is simply gorgeous and I would love to visit but Papua/New Guinia is right there. (Although, I think TAR has been there). More African (obscure) countries. Togo, anyone? South America. The freakin' Amazon?

Twists - Keep things simplistic as far as the race. Make the clues more difficult. No more make your way to Red Square and find the guy dressed like Breshnev. How about "Make your way to the area once covered in woodland buildings that an Ivan III edict changed into a major marketplace, then find the gentlemen dressed as the premier that served Russia at the same time as Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, Carter and Reagan." Make it a much more thoughtful race where locals can provide more than pointing to a place.

I even had a flight for them then, I was so sure they would finally make it 7 continents...

In this twist (which I already know the fans will hate) all the teams are randomly reassigned until the end of the leg.

The team that arrives last at the end of this leg is eliminated, along with their partners, regardless of their finish. This makes the leg a double elimination.

After the eliminations, teams return to normal.

The second twist I want to see is a rule that stops teams checking in without their possessions (I don't know why but this irritates me.)

The new rule would state that a team may only leave a Pit Stop with the items they brought in to it, so if a team really wants to leave their bags behind to go the little bit faster, they must deal with the consequences.

Of course, their items would be returned to them upon completion of the race.

I've often wondered if, sometimes, the "Additional Information" in the clue says, "You may leave your belongings in the marked car."

Hate the first as much as I hate the Intersection, love the second. And yes, clues do sometimes say you can leave your packs...but sometimes they are taking a risk dropping them in the run for the finish line...

Victoria: JOOOOOOOOHNNNN!!!!! (this could easily give LENNNEEEE!!! a run for its money)Johnathan: Just drop it!Victoria: But they're going to take it!!!! JOOOOHHHNNNNNN!!!!

As for a new type of route marker: Traffic Light!In this route marker one team can force another to stop at a traffic light. The team that stops at the Traffic Light has to open one of three clues. Inside each envelope is one of the following.Red.- Turn over an Hourglass (Yield)Yellow.- Perform an additional task (Speedbump)Green.- Go directly to the Pit Stop (Fast Forward)

it can be used both with good or bad intentions with probabilities of backfiring.
